Quite the Ride

It’s been quite the ride over this past month. With everything happening around the world, both good and bad, I’ve only kept up with it loosely. My personal little world became smaller since I last wrote you. Let’s see. Where to begin? Consortium Book 5 Progress I’ve made decent progress in working on Book 5…

I feel fortunate

I feel fortunate That’s right. I feel fortunate and incredibly lucky. Two days ago, my area of the country and specifically my county was hit with a disastrous sustained windstorm. By sustained, I mean a storm raging, hour after hour, and lasting just over fifteen hours. It started slowly, teasing the people in its path,…

Another day without spilling my coffee

Another day without spilling my coffee Two whole days and I didn’t spill a drop of my coffee. Whoo hoo! Both days were splendid, and I got stuff done, now if I could only delete my chronic headache, but who cares. Coffee heaven!

I hate this s#!t

I hate this s#!t Due to lots of icy rain and the aftereffects of my head injury suffered last summer, I just had to cancel a coffee date with a dear friend of mine. Damn it all! This head crap is really affecting my lifestyle. Will I ever get past this? PT is helping, for…

Day After Christmas

Day After Christmas Well, it’s the day after Christmas. The world still exists, and I am recovering from hosting several people for the holiday feast. As Dr. Seuss wrote, we served roast beast, au gratin potatoes, green beans, and a broccoli cheese casserole. For dessert, we served an array of strawberry rhubarb pie, cannolis, cheese…

Down for the count

Down for the count Yes, that’s right. I’m down for the count and thinking about throwing in the towel. What do I mean by that, you ask? Don’t worry. I’m not giving up or anything, except for what pertains to the ramifications of my concussion. As many of you know, I suffered a severe concussion…

I Saw Stars

Good morning world. I’m looking forward to a new week that ends better than the last. Why? Let me tell you. Reflective in the title of this post, last Friday, I literally saw stars. No, they weren’t a bunch of five-star reviews of my books. One can hope. No, I didn’t see the stars of…

Whirlwind nearly over, part 8

Things seem to be settling down since the shock of the change in employment status by my girlfriend and committed partner. The last 48 hours have been less stressful, we’re sleeping normally again, and I am not as worried about her as I was. Don’t get me wrong. I’m still worried about her but I’ve got it…

Whirlwind nearly over, part 7

Well, I knew it was too good to be true. Nearly over? Not quite. Sure enough, Murphy’s Law kicked in. Mid-afternoon yesterday, our household was kicked in the gut. The love of my life, my girlfriend and partner in the house we purchased together, lost her job. Granted, we knew it was a possibility. Under…

My Home is My Castle

Whirlwind nearly over, part 4

They say one’s home is their castle. I can’t help wonder about the truth in the statement. The home I used to live in, the one I recently sold and moved from, used to be my castle. I loved my home. I did not envision leaving it any time soon. In fact, I was sure…
